Omar Marmoush inspired Manchester City to win 4-0 over the Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday with a ruthless hat-trick of the first half.
The hosts would be forgiven on Wednesday for inserting one eye on their key trip to the Champions League to Real Madrid, but showed their enormous quality and professionalism during the pronounced first half at the Etihad stadium – attributes that did not always overcome the blue half of Manchester this season.
Marmoush was the recipient of the adoration of the domestic audience as he produced a clinical 14-minute hat-trick to stun with lethargic visitors. After lobbing Martina Dubravka following Ederson’s defense of sorting through the ball, the Egyptian continued to shoot two strong drives outside Newcastle plug to put City In an incredibly commanding position on vacation.
City has become known for its late implosions this season, but there would be no such self -destruction against Magpies, and the hosts even added their benefit to the final stages. Replace James McATEe has turned from Erling Haaland from the corner to add some gloss already an impressive result.
However, it was not a completely pink conclusion for the hosts. Haaland left the terrain in dying tokens after inserting his knee, leaving Guardiola to sweat over his fitness ahead of the European Tie on Wednesday in Santiago Bernabeu.
Victory for Cityzens moves them over Chelsea in the Premier League table and fourth after Blues beat Brighton & Hove Albion Friday night.
